If a user installs an app with the same name as another app on her/his system, the old app will currently be overwritten, even if the apps are from different origins.
we need to deal with this; it is not a blocker.
Priority: -- → P2
This should be fixed in develop as of this commit: https://github.com/mozilla/openwebapps/commit/2bfe2fa373a37d9bc7213336d1d7ffeba9a780e6 However, the shortcuts on the desktop and the start menu will still be overwritten
